50 Best Coffee Shops in Lincoln

“perfect London fog, great donuts and cozy atmosphere“

“Made a stop at Bloom Coffee while visiting family up in Nebraska, and it was probably one of the highlights from the trip! We were first drawn in by the aesthetics of the shop (I’m a sucker for plants, good graphic design, and beautiful interior lol). We had the blackberry brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso & the peach latte from their Summer Menu. Both drinks were delicious 🤤 we are truly so sad they’re not in Texas!

The shop also has on display a bunch of art & goodies you can buy to support other local artists/businesses! I look forward to coming again when I’m back in Lincoln!

Update: was able to visit again, the coffee shop has expanded and the shop is super cute! They have tons of space and seating with outlets. Great place to remote work, read, meet with a friend, etc. The coffee is delicious and I also love the music/ambience!“

“Much love from Manhattan, KS! Retired Nebraska National Guard, here, and I’d stop by every time I stayed in Lincoln!“

“Great place for coffee and live music“

“I love the space, and Diana is amaziiiiing!!!“

“Great drinks and great service! Highly recommend this place!“

“Wednesday night concert series are the best!“

“I'm not a coffee snob, I usually buy the cheapest store brands and then have to add so much it really isn't coffee. I decided to buy some ground coffee from TCS and was I ever surprised. It is wonderful. I could tell the difference immediately. I just had to add a tablespoon of cream and nothing else. Drinking this coffee is a treat.“

“Great drinks and great service! Highly recommend this place!“

“We ventured down the passage stairs into this amazing space this morning before walking the farmers market… the aroma of baked yum hits you and then the smell of fresh coffee. Definitely worth the stop and we will be back!!“

“I love checking out their seasonal teas!!“

“Really cozy spot with the best cold brew I’ve ever tasted! So excited to have Carbon Coffee in the neighborhood!“

“We had the cromlettes again today. They are so good. 1st time trying the Java chocolate chip muffin. I loved it. Very moist and delicious! We are from out of town by an hour but love to stop here when in town. and the coffee and café mocha is my go to.“

“Much love from Manhattan, KS! Retired Nebraska National Guard, here, and I’d stop by every time I stayed in Lincoln!“

“Thank you to the The Mill @ Innovation Campus for supporting local arts. We appreciate your partnership.“

“My favorite local coffee shop! By far the best! (56th and old Cheney location) love the drive through, the staff is always friendly, and the drinks are always consistent! Great rewards program that you can use for Tshirts, sweaters, ect.“

“Best hands down, Starbucks count your days“

“Always so good and relaxing!“

“Wonderful Coffee Shop and friendly to pets as well!!!“

“If you just want something sweet and terrible for you that, in my opinion is weak (when it comes to putting a pep in my step). Then by all means stick with the big name chains(the Walmarts of coffee & smoothies) for your morning cup. However, if you want a brewed hot, iced, blended or specialty made beverage (either coffee, smoothie or one of each!) you must get over to Lincoln Espresso!!! You won’t regret it!“

“I absolutely love Caribou coffee! They make follow through every time and I've never had a poor experience here. They're prices are very reasonable compared to many other chains out there and that sets them apart, plus they have daily specials! The drinks are consistently amazing (unlike scooters and Starbucks) and there's plenty of drinks to choose from. On top of that every person who works here is an amazing person and I hope they see this because I've never had a bad interaction with a worker here, sometimes they even make my day. Keep up the amazing work and amazing coffee!!!“

“I'm trying Harness Blend for the first time, I love dark roast and I've had a hard time finding the right blend. Amazing! The flavor is rich and smooth, I love it!“

“So, my fiancé is very indecisive and told the guy to surprise him with a coffee, anything mocha related. We were told to leave a bad review if he didn’t like the drink, it was something dealing with brunette and toasted marshmallow. He absolutely loved it and wanted to make sure the gentleman found out.“

“Ziggi's is my absolute favorite!! The Colorado Mocha is the only drink I will order. I don't even go to Scooters or Starbucks anymore! 🙌🏼“

“The Fallbrook location will not answer the phone. I tried several times this morning. I realize they are busy, but surely, someone can answer the phone. ?“

“This place is mostly a drive-tru. No inside seating. I don't believe there was outside seating either 🤔.
The Pumpkin Carmelishous,blended, was good according to my Mom. I like green tea matcha with peach, blended. Yum! And if I didn't get that It'd be the Chi Tea Latte, hot! All are good.
Note: they only have the dark roast until 10 or 11 AM as my husband found out.“

“they are so kind and friendly. food and drinks are second to none!!!“

“Much love from Manhattan, KS! Retired Nebraska National Guard, here, and I’d stop by every time I stayed in Lincoln!“

“Scooters is the BOMB!!! Addicted to their sea salt Carmelicious! Location at south 84th street is so courteous, check out their drive thru...you will NOT be disappointed!😀“

“I had a great experience when I was at this location a couple of days ago! One of the workers Abby was very sweet and personable! She did a great job organizing and multitasking! We need to get these workers some cool mist on these hot summer days! Overall 5/5“

“As a self-appointed volunteer quality control analyst, I can say without hesitation that this Starbucks location meets the standards for continuity, cleanliness and friendliness. 😜😜. It is a must-visit!“

“I haven’t been to this coffee shop yet, I want to thank the most beautiful person who did a pay-it-forward that’s an employee at this location, I was near tears and wasn’t feeling to good, I was told to pick up my Gman at the last min, my husband didn’t tell me he didn’t have time to deposit money into my acct........enough about that, most importantly THANK U SOOO MUCH BEAUTIFUL PERSON for showing me kindness and a heart🙂😘👍🏾“

“First time customer and so sad my coffee was NOT it. I am going to assume it was a fluke because there are so many good reviews on the coffee. I order an iced vanilla latte and it tasted burnt or like diluted brewed coffee with skim milk. Very odd. Wait time was also an hour for food - which, it was a Sunday morning so not super surprising.“

“Love this place! Great customer service! LOVE the dumplings, deserts & the variety of snack options!“

“Big shout out to this location for coming through today for the LSE Reserve baseball team. 2 dozen sandwiches with only 1.5 hours notice. Best location Lincoln for drinks also!“

“Great job really good coffee“

“Darrell is a great manager! Great coffee, great service, and great conversation. Look forward to seeing him or his crew practically every morning. They keep the coffee kiosk area looking good. Hard to rate the atmosphere otherwise as it is located inside a HyVee store.“

“Love this place, walking around downtown Lincoln, the only coffee store in a bank building. Highlight: the coffee is from what I helped to become certified supplier to a wholesale store. Support our rural small business by drinking this coffee.“

“The coffee is always good but they were training a new employee today and as a manager at another company I appreciate how well the trainer coached and jumped in when needed and jumped straight back into coaching it was a well structured cohesive partnership that was done very well. Wanted to send kudos to both baristas that were working today.“

“I found myself in Lincoln, Nebraska, for a week. I needed to be able to have a place to work while I was there. The Foundry was the most helpful and accommodating of all co-working spaces that I contacted in Lincoln. They respond quickly and thoroughly. The staff is extremely helpful. Audrey and Julie are incredible—very friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi is incredible. The desks are large with plenty of space for each person. There are private spaces you can reserve for meetings. I have been most impressed and thoroughly enjoyed my time at The Foundry. I will definitely reserve a space at The Foundry again the next time I am in Lincoln.“

“Wonderful Coffee Shop and friendly to pets as well!!!“

“The atmosphere especially is so fun and cozy and makes you feel like everyone belongs. It so so fun to explore and get homeade ice cream right next to this cafe from ivanna cone. This is also right in the center of the haymarket so you aren't ever a far walk from it.“

“Best Birthday Pup Cup 🐶 ever! Murphy was even sang to by all the staff this morning. ❤️🎉❤️“
